If it's happening to you that often then you might consider that it's you who doesn't understand the rules.

That said: You will feel bad if you hit a cyclist, wether they were in the wrong or not.
Cars are just as much to blame as cyclists for fucking up the road. Case in point; driving down the freeway a couple days ago (in the middle lane) and the guy on my right, texting. Left, texting. In front of the guy on the left, playing some game on his iPad.
So, I agree with @todd: BIKE POST EMBARGO!

There should be some sort of online badge/certification that people who whine and moan constantly about cyclists have to display in order to be taken seriously. You'd only earn this badge after you had commuted and ridden a bike for one complete season. To work/from work. On busy routes, in areas where cars and bikes frequently cross paths, where it would be considered occasionally unsafe, and where bikers had been hit/injured/killed in the past.

If you didn't have this, you'd be mocked endlessly and called an idiot every time you tried to voice your opinion about what shitheads cyclists were.

If someone on the cycling side of the debate tried to get into this argument we always have, and then admitted they didn't know how to drive, had never been behind a steering wheel, and had not clue what it took to drive a car on the street, they'd deserve a similar level of scorn and contempt.
